When you embed the COM object into a form you automatically have access to the MapPoint toolbar when the map object is live. However, when you embed the ActiveX component it doesn't appear. Is that because it isn't available in the ActiveX or is there a way do progromatically display it?

If you are embedding a MapPoint ActiveDocument (i.e. in Internet Explorer or a frame), you get the toolbar in the window with the map. When you embed as a COM object (i.e. into Word, Excel, etc) you get the toolbar in the host application frame window. When you use the ActiveX Control (i.e. use the control in VB) you do not get the toobars, but you can turn them on programmatically, and they will show up in the control window, as if it were embedded into Internet Explorer.
